Thoughts on the ever changing nature of our planet, the effects we are having on it, and examinations of all things science.

Swimsuit season
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Secret Gym Membership Sweep
Prize(s) - One year gym membership (1 given away weekly)
End Date - April 25, 2010gym
Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email
Simone's Thoughts - We went out on the lake this weekend for the first time this year and I was faced with the impending reality that swimsuit season is upon us. Much to my dismay, I did not magically acquire the body of Brittany Daniels during the winter. Sigh. I hate having to work for what I want. If only I could afford the personal trainer, personal chef, AND be ok w/ spending less time w/ my kid so that I could look bangin. But, thats not my life. So, I will be content w/ entering to win this sweep and maybe get a gym membership.

End Date - April 23, 2010

Simone's Thoughts - While I don't quite feel comfortable taking Max to Africa as he isn't quite old enough, this would be an awesome trip. Not to mention, we just can't take another trip abroad this year.

More cash is even better!
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Hormel Foods 25K Sweep
Prize(s) - $25,000
End Date - April 11, 2010
Entry Frequency - 1x per household
Simone's Thoughts - Since twitter hasn't un-suspended my account which was hacked yet, I figured I would post a really good one for my loyal followers. Friday tends to be my lowest traffic day, so to all of you who come to my site on your own and come on Friday, this sweeps for you!
No, you're....

Prize(s) - 4 day trip for four to Boston, MA and a crapload of GE appliances (worth over 20 grand); also really nice weekly prizes
End Date - August 31, 2010

Simone's Thoughts - The only thing that could make this sweep better would be cash, a car, and Red Sox tickets. Yeah, its a lot, but the sweep still rocks!

IKEA
Sweepstakes Title/Link - HGTV IKEA 10G
Prize(s)- $10,000 IKEA GC
End Date - April 23, 2010
Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email
Simone's Thoughts - I'm a sucker for IKEA. This would be so awesome to win! Just don't eat there, its not worth it. And the ice cream tastes strange too, also not worth it.

Its a Fiesta!
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Ford Fiesta American Idol Sweep
Prize(s) - 2011 Ford Fiesta w/ custom design and a 3 or 4 night trip to see American Idol. 1 given away per week and grand prize trip is for the finale.
End Date - May 21, 2010
Entry Frequency - weekly per person/email
Simone's Thoughts - While I don't normally enter for custom designed cars since they are normally overpriced, I'm gonna throw my hat in this one. They are giving away 9 cars total, so odds are good. Maybe I can just get one that isn't custom painted, you never know.

Mid-life crisis on the cheap
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Florida Miata Sweep
Prize(s) - 2010 Mazda MX5 Miata convertible & a 6 night trip to Florida
End Date - April 30, 2010

Simone's Thoughts - I'm not really a Miata kind of girl, but I could sure use the cash from selling one. I like muscle cars and this just seems sorta wimpy. Always has, always will - sorry Mazda.

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Progressive Truck Sweep
Prize(s) - 2011 Ford F-150 & $10,000

Car or cash
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Better Homes Car Sweep
Prize(s) - 2010 Honda Insight LX Hybrid or $19,397.95 cash
End Date - June 30, 2010
Entry Frequency - daily per email
Simone's Thoughts - If you don't need a new car and the sponsor is offering you the equivalent of the car of under 5 grand less, take the cash. Trust me, its not worth the effort to register and sell the car. We have done it and its worthwhile if you have to do it, but if the sponsor is offering an easier way - take it!
You will have to be or become a member of BH&G to win this, but its free and they always have sweeps going on.

Simone's Thoughts - For my 300th post, I give you a Mustang. Enjoy! Doesn't really specify what year, or if its the one pictured, but still a classic Mustang. Whether it will be worth the $30,000 ARV they are claiming, who knows.

End Date - April 30, 2010

Simone's Thoughts - I love yellow diamonds, but could never afford them. Although I'm sure this is overpriced, its gorgeous! You could always get it appraised for less or find a cheaper comparable for taxes.

For all the existing or new hockey fans, here is a chance to win a trip to the big game. You will have to become a free member of NHL.com to enter.

End Date -April 30, 2010
Entry Frequency - daily per person/email
Simone's Thoughts - Cash is always king. Nuff said.
They do sign you up for an Ancestry.com account automatically, but if you are a sweeper you have a million accounts everywhere, so one more for $20G won't hurt.

Sweepstakes Title/Link - LaQuinta Makeover Sweep
Prize(s) - Bedroom makeover by designer; weekly prizes of Simmons queen-size Bright Morning pillowtop bed
End Date - April 17, 2010
Entry Frequency - daily per person/email
Simone's Thoughts - Sounds like this prize is actually fairly well priced for an ARV which is pretty rare in "makeover" sweeps. I still think it is overpriced, but not exorbitantly so. The weekly prize is pretty awesome too.
